Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. That's what happens when your little
Speaker 1: darlings shoot and kill their parents. The crime scene pictures
Speaker 1: are horrific. You think the DA did that. No, it
Speaker 1: was your little darlings that did that. That's why ye
Speaker 1: had eighty five. You're sent into the hospital in critical care.
Speaker 1: It wasn't because the DA show the pictures of what
Speaker 1: your little darlings did.
Speaker 2: It's because of what your little darlings did morning also
Speaker 2: eighty five.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's not a shock that you're put into
Speaker 1: the hospital with critical condition, right.
Speaker 3: Distress of being in the eighty.
Speaker 2: Five, yeah, stress of walking to the.
Speaker 4: Bathroom, stress of a Friday when you're eighty five, that
Speaker 4: can be a big deal.
Speaker 1: So, speaking of walking and stress, I was walking into
Speaker 1: the studio and I can count on one hand the
Speaker 1: amount of times Amy King has kind of flagged me
Speaker 1: down on our way in here, and to was one
Speaker 1: of those days. Or she said, Shannon Farren, and I
Speaker 1: said what's going on? And I said Amy King? And
Speaker 1: she said, are you guys going to cover the space
Speaker 1: situation or I forget what she said. What she called it,
Speaker 1: and I said, I don't know. I haven't looked at
Speaker 1: the rundown yet, and she said, and.
Speaker 2: She was upset about it.
Speaker 1: So I said, well, we absolutely have to address it
Speaker 1: if Amy King's upset, not not super upset, but.
Speaker 3: Just slightly upset.
Speaker 2: So they made this thing out to be it's historic.
Speaker 5: These women are changing history because Katy Perry and Gail
Speaker 5: King and Jeff Bezos's girl fiance and three other like
Speaker 5: I would say, legit. People were on the UH on
Speaker 5: the Blue Origin rocket this morning. Very cool, right, you
Speaker 5: get to shoot up into SubOrbit, be waitless for a
Speaker 5: couple of minutes. The ride lasts eleven minutes total. And
Speaker 5: they came back and I was like, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 5: And they made a big deal that it was an
Speaker 5: all women crew and I'm like, well, you didn't do anything.
Speaker 5: He just sat there, strapped in and I was just
Speaker 5: sort of like, really, like everybody rails against the rich
Speaker 5: people who have this, you know, they can do whatever
Speaker 5: they want. Well, theyre when a bunch of rich people
Speaker 5: who did whatever they want. They talked about how they
Speaker 5: were changing history, and then the thing that really got
Speaker 5: me was when they got back after eleven minutes in.
Speaker 3: Space, on the edge of space.
Speaker 2: Actually it was about three minutes.
Speaker 3: Reagan would say, touching the face of God.
Speaker 2: Gail King and Katie Perry kissed the ground.
Speaker 3: Oh kive, for.
Speaker 2: The love Christ.
Speaker 5: Great.
Speaker 1: You know what pisses me off, Amy, Now, this was
Speaker 1: a blind spot for me. I had no idea this
Speaker 1: happened or was happening, and now that you're telling me
Speaker 1: about it, I'm getting very upset. The idea that they
Speaker 1: called this an all female crew, I think is what
Speaker 1: pisses me off the most, because you're right, not a crew.
Speaker 1: It's not like they're doing anything. They're sitting there on
Speaker 1: a ride. They're at Disneyland for rich people. They're not
Speaker 1: crewing jack s.
Speaker 4: You don't go to Disneyland and crewe the Pirates of
Speaker 4: the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: And the fact that they're saying this is the first
Speaker 1: time an all female crew, what do you tell since
Speaker 1: the Russian cosmonaut who became the first woman in space.
Speaker 1: If I'm that Russian woman, I am pissed off. You're
Speaker 1: putting me in the same conversation as Gail King and
Speaker 1: Katie Perry.
Speaker 3: Not certain she's still around, but I don't care.
Speaker 2: She's pissed. She's dead, and she's pissed.
Speaker 1: Like when an all female crew actually goes to space
Speaker 1: and does the work of going to space and cruise that,
Speaker 1: then that's cool, right, That's something to be celebrated, and
Speaker 1: you can put that all female label on it. But
Speaker 1: if it's just a Disneyland ride for rich people and
Speaker 1: then you're publicizing it as a female accomplishment, that's a
Speaker 1: that's pretty lame.
Speaker 4: Valentina is still alive. Valentina Tereshkova, Ah, she's still around.
Speaker 2: Did you have sex with her? Or is that the other.
Speaker 3: One sex with her?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Amy, what have you done? You've started something?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it just it was again, it was very cool.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was very fun. You could hear them
Speaker 2: screaming and yelling.
Speaker 1: Very cool and very fun. And that's exactly how it
Speaker 1: should be built, not as some sort of accomplishment.
Speaker 5: And then and then Katie came back and they were interviewing,
Speaker 5: and she said, I did this because it's going to
Speaker 5: change things for.
Speaker 2: Every right, is that right?
Speaker 3: How?
Speaker 1: I don't know secret experiment she was doing up there?
Speaker 1: That way to know about for three seconds of waitless. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it might have been three minutes.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe she was.
Speaker 1: I forgot that Valentina was your girlfriend in high school.
Speaker 1: Of course you weren't having sex with her. That would
Speaker 1: be weird. All right, kids, you should wait. I should
Speaker 1: waitate a rush until you're nineteen.
Speaker 3: I didn't date a cosmonaut.
Speaker 1: No, but the girl that you dated, a girl you
Speaker 1: dated in high school, was naed Valentina. That's the last
Speaker 1: time I remember hearing the name Valentina.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, yeah, it's a good name.
Speaker 2: It's a great name. Are you kidding?
Speaker 3: There's a beautiful hot sauce.
Speaker 2: We should get something and name it Valentina.
Speaker 4: What there's a hot sauce? Really, it has nothing to
Speaker 4: do with either my high school girlfriend.
Speaker 3: Or was she.
Speaker 2: Was she a spicy girl?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Oh? Really?
Speaker 3: Kind of boring? Oh yeah, wow, I'm.
Speaker 2: Just saying, is that why you didn't have sex with her?
Speaker 3: Among other things? Yes, that's awful.
Speaker 2: We don't mean any of that. It's okay to be boring.
Speaker 3: We're playing a fun game.
Speaker 2: Boring can be sexy.
Speaker 4: Uh So, I can't wait to see the long form
Speaker 4: interviews of these these people who went to space today.
Speaker 3: The interviews will probably be longer.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to watch any Actually, we're not playing
Speaker 1: any of them all. No, we're not, absolutely not.
Speaker 4: President Trump is a hosted the President of Al Salvador
Speaker 4: at the White House today and they're doing I don't
Speaker 4: know if you've noticed all of the gold appointments that
Speaker 4: have now been added to the Oval Office.
Speaker 3: It really gaudy.
Speaker 1: Oh they they got a shine of gold paint, didn't they. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is like whoever does the helmets for Notre Dame
Speaker 1: football in the off season. They got pulled into the
Speaker 1: Oval Office to touch up the paint.
Speaker 3: Look, you can see that the table has.
Speaker 2: All very fresh gold paint.
Speaker 4: All of the giant, hugely ornate frames around the pictures
Speaker 4: those are all gold now as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an odd It's just an odd look.
Speaker 2: That's like what Trump's house is like, though exactly he's
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 3: He gets to call the shots on that.
Speaker 1: It's very nineteen eighties Miami Vice esque kind of aesthetic. Hey,
Speaker 1: the giants are off to their best art since two
Speaker 1: thousand and three?
Speaker 2: Do you know that?
Speaker 3: I do know that.
Speaker 4: I don't bring it up because you get mad at
Speaker 4: me when I say things like, if your third place
Speaker 4: Dodgers are taking on the Rock.
Speaker 2: Tonight April, it's April.
Speaker 3: I also know that.
Speaker 2: I thought I'd give you a win while you can
Speaker 2: take it.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers don't play the Giants until June. Until mid June.
Speaker 2: That's weird, right, it's stupid.
Speaker 3: I don't like that schedule. There's got to be a
Speaker 3: way to adjust that.
Speaker 2: You know, you should go up there and see a game.
Speaker 1: I've been reading about this new mayor of San Francisco
Speaker 1: kind of doing things right.
Speaker 2: He's turning things around.
Speaker 1: The vibe is different, vibe the way they're super different,
Speaker 1: and he is trying to be their poster boy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I thought for the first time after reading a
Speaker 1: lengthy piece about him. The last time we talked about him,
Speaker 1: it was crimes down in San Francisco a lot, And
Speaker 1: then I read this piece about him, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: maybe I should go back to San Francis see what
Speaker 1: a difference can make in terms of tourism and tax dollars.
Speaker 1: Somebody who's just like, you know, we're not going to
Speaker 1: put up with this. We're not going to have needles
Speaker 1: in the street, We're not going to make this okay.
Speaker 2: Anymore.
Speaker 1: You're not going to give out. You can't do that,
Speaker 1: and you can't poop there. Yeah huh. Anyway, the Dodgers
Speaker 1: take on the Rockies to night Dodger Stadium, first pitch
Speaker 1: at seven. Listen to every play on AM five seventy
Speaker 1: LA Sports Live from the Gallupin Motors Broadcast Booth, and
Speaker 1: stream all games in HD on the iHeartRadio app Keyword

Speaker 1: Hey, look at that all that money we have, oh,
Speaker 1: just sitting around. Yeah, we're going to give that away
Speaker 1: when we come back.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll do so, Gary and Channon, we'll continue.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six.
Speaker 1: Forty man accused of setting fire to Josh Shapiro's home
Speaker 1: while he and his family were sleeping.
Speaker 2: How terrifying.
Speaker 1: Shapiro Is wife Lori, their four children, two dogs, and
Speaker 1: another family forced to evacuate. This happened early yesterday morning.
Speaker 4: This was Governor Josh Shapiro explaining it to the News
Speaker 4: Comperence after later yesterday.
Speaker 7: At approximately two o'clock in the morning, while my family
Speaker 7: and I were asleep upstairs here at the Governor's residence,
Speaker 7: one of the state troopers assigned to our detail banged
Speaker 7: on our door, woke us up and told us we
Speaker 7: had an emergency and needed to leave immediately. Together, we
Speaker 7: secured all of our children, our two dogs, our family
Speaker 7: that was staying with us, and the troopers safely evacuated
Speaker 7: us from the Governor's residence.
Speaker 4: Thirty eight year old guy named Cody Balmer turned himself
Speaker 4: into police, being held on charges of attempted murder, aggravated arson,
Speaker 4: and terrorism, among other things, in connection with this fire.
Speaker 4: Here's what we know. There are more questions in my
Speaker 4: mind than there are our answers as to exactly what happened.
Speaker 4: But they said that this guy was able to hop
Speaker 4: the fence that surrounds the Harrisburg residence, the Harrisburg Governor's mansion. There,
Speaker 4: he broke a couple of windows with a hammer. He
Speaker 4: climbed in through one of them to get into the home,
Speaker 4: where he threw in a couple of Molotov cocktails he
Speaker 4: had made by siphoning gas out of a lawnmower, and
Speaker 4: putting it into Heineken bottles to start the fire. He
Speaker 4: was inside the governor's residence, they said, for less than
Speaker 4: one minute, and was actively evading state troopers who were
Speaker 4: looking for him at the time. He was able to
Speaker 4: kick the dining room door down and leave, and they
Speaker 4: didn't even get him when he was there. It was
Speaker 4: later that I think his girlfriend or an ex girlfriend, yeah,
Speaker 4: called the cops to say that her ex boyfriend admitted
Speaker 4: that this was his doing.
Speaker 1: Cody Palmer, thirty eight bomber admitted to harboring hatred towards Shapiro,
Speaker 1: said if Shapiro had found him inside his home, he
Speaker 1: would have beaten the governor with his hammer.
Speaker 4: A couple of questions. I know that this is not
Speaker 4: the president and the Secret Service guarding him, but every
Speaker 4: state governor has a security detail. Were Is there no
Speaker 4: burglar alarm intrusions?
Speaker 2: Is there like simply safe? Is there no smoke? Is
Speaker 2: there no home alarm system?
Speaker 3: I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 4: It's just an odd It's very odd. I mean, thankfully
Speaker 4: he was able to get out. He he and the family,
Speaker 4: like he said, and the dogs, et cetera.
Speaker 7: We don't know the person's specific motive yet. But we
Speaker 7: do know a few truths. First, this type of violence
Speaker 7: is not okay.
Speaker 3: Who is this? That's the governor.
Speaker 7: This kind of violence is becoming far too common in
Speaker 7: our society, and I don't give a damn if it's
Speaker 7: coming from one particular side or the other. Directed it
Speaker 7: one particular party or another, one particular person or another.
Speaker 7: It is not okay.
Speaker 3: And it has to stop.
Speaker 1: This isn't just this is mental illness. You don't bust
Speaker 1: into the governor's home and want to beat him with
Speaker 1: a hammer because of just simple crime rates.
Speaker 4: This is when they got this guy and it turns
Speaker 4: out that this is what he was there to do.
Speaker 4: It completely reminded me of the guy that went after
Speaker 4: Nancy Pelosi and ended up hitting.
Speaker 1: Although I still think that there's something, No, there's not.
Speaker 1: He had a cocktail in his hand. Who did husband?
Speaker 1: So that ice in it?
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: You don't have.
Speaker 1: A tumbler if somebody has broken into your home to
Speaker 1: kill you, even if it was even if that person
Speaker 1: demanded a glass of water, you don't put ice in it.
Speaker 2: The fact that he has and what ice, I don't know.
Speaker 4: He's just trying to be nice you don't want to
Speaker 4: make the guy even more mad by not putting ice
Speaker 4: in them.
Speaker 2: What kind of intruder says and put ice in it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It just it's someone who's crazy, said, we already established
Speaker 4: this is this is the work of mental illness.
Speaker 1: I got in trouble, by the way at the time
Speaker 1: for saying that there was something amiss there.
Speaker 3: I know, I remember.
Speaker 2: I still believe there's something amiss that house.
Speaker 4: I looked it up. Built in nineteen sixty eight. The
Speaker 4: Governor's the mansion there that they used in Harrisburg. I
Speaker 4: don't know why I spent that much time even bothering
Speaker 4: to look. It's a twenty nine thousand square foot house,
Speaker 4: but most of the bottom floor is like ceremonial.
Speaker 1: It's like twenty times the size of my house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a big, a big, big bird. That is a
Speaker 1: big bird.
Speaker 3: So anyway, good news is that they got the guy.
Speaker 4: The house itself had some pretty significant damage, but for
Speaker 4: the most part, everybody else got out safely.
Speaker 3: They'll be reviewing security detail around the governor.
Speaker 2: You ever play red Light Green Light at Calskate?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, ouch, I know head, I know it's a
Speaker 1: real humbler, isn't it? Elizabeth Warren s as the president
Speaker 1: is playing red light green light with the tariffs. We've
Speaker 1: got exemptions on tech that seem to be temporary. What
Speaker 1: you should know when we return.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: If this wasn't so embarrassing, it would be pure comedy.
Speaker 1: But the women who paid a bunch of money to
Speaker 1: go to space for eleven minutes but are now calling
Speaker 1: themselves astronauts and a crew are holding a press conference.
Speaker 1: They're all in hot form fitting waste giving space suits.
Speaker 1: They've had a glam squad there picture Real Housewives reunion
Speaker 1: right like that kind of glam squad situation, but in
Speaker 1: hot spacesuits like Barbie spacesuits. And they're talking about overcoming
Speaker 1: adversity to have gone on this flight. Gail King actually
Speaker 1: just said, guys, she just said something to the effect
Speaker 1: of it hurts. At one point she felt pain, and
Speaker 1: she said, now I feel like it can overcome anything.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go get my ears pierced. Now I've
Speaker 1: always been afraid because that hurts. Like this is a
Speaker 1: true story. This is happening live right now. And I
Speaker 1: and like you said, Amy, I just remembered the word
Speaker 1: you said to me as I was walking down the hall. Embarrassing.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed the fact that
Speaker 1: they're fielding questions, no irony whatsoever.
Speaker 2: This is not a joke.
Speaker 1: They think that they're astronauts, that they that they that
Speaker 1: they did real work today in the space program. Like
Speaker 1: it's really freaking embarrassing. It's like rich people with their
Speaker 1: head in the stands saying excuse me.
Speaker 2: Compounded by this this.
Speaker 1: Woman power thing that is unearned. There is unearned. That
Speaker 1: that I think is the is the worst part about it.
Speaker 4: I'm saying this as a guy in normal on thin
Speaker 4: ice here, but stop asking about feelings and emotions about
Speaker 4: what happened. And that's a I mean, it's it's a
Speaker 4: it's a I think it's Clarissa Thompson, Carrissa Thompson sports
Speaker 4: reporter who's asking these these six women about their their
Speaker 4: time and it's not I mean, listen, they weren't.
Speaker 7: Up there.
Speaker 2: Because it wasn't technically they were writing this thing.
Speaker 1: But they're acting, they're answering these emotions, feelings, questions like
Speaker 1: it's technical.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're answering like it was Apollo thirteen and they
Speaker 4: weren't sure they were going to come back.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's why. That's why it's embarrassing.
Speaker 4: Amy it was because I listen, it takes giant ovaries
Speaker 4: or balls.
Speaker 2: I don't care to do what they did. And there are.
Speaker 1: Women in NASA right now who are doing the real thing.
Speaker 4: So who are Sonny Williams, who, like you said, just
Speaker 4: came off of this International Space Station because she was
Speaker 4: up there for nine months when she was only supposed
Speaker 4: to be up there for nine days. Where is she
Speaker 4: crushing popcorn right now watching these ladies and just laughing
Speaker 4: at them like all sisters, you have no you have
Speaker 4: no clue.
Speaker 1: It's such a farce. It's so embarrassing. And the fact
Speaker 1: that they're given any sort of platform, like it's a
Speaker 1: cool thing they did. They should take pictures, they should
Speaker 1: be in their hot space suits and in post post away.
Speaker 1: But like the idea that this is being held up
Speaker 1: is a real space mission is embarrassing for the whole country.
Speaker 1: My god, who throw do we celebrate celebrity this much?
Speaker 2: Yes, that's embarrassing.
Speaker 3: And don't forget.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's one major aspect of this that you
Speaker 4: can't ignore. They chose Katy Perry, they chose Gail King.
Speaker 4: Jeff Bezos chose his fiancee to be on this, and
Speaker 4: he's the one who's you know, who's bankrolling this whole thing.
Speaker 4: It's not a giant leap forward for womenkind. It's not
Speaker 4: a giant leap forward for the space race. It's not
Speaker 4: a giant leap forward for anything other than Jeff Bezos
Speaker 4: marketing his company.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: If I have a little girl and she's watching this,
Speaker 1: and she looks at this and she goes, I want
Speaker 1: to be one of these women, I'm thinking, yes, that
Speaker 1: is an avenue.
Speaker 2: Get rich, get work done, get all the diets.
Speaker 3: Make sure you compare this.
Speaker 1: But you could also look at Gary's daughter, who is
Speaker 1: a grad student, a biochemistry grad student on a full ride,
Speaker 1: and you can get there that way too. And what's
Speaker 1: more rewarding making your lipstick match your space suit or
Speaker 1: knowing you did the work at the end of the day.
Speaker 3: I mean the unseriousness of Lord Katy Perry holding a
Speaker 3: little flower the entire time she was there.
Speaker 2: It was for her daughter, Okay. Her shot name is Daisy.
Speaker 2: It is stop it, Daisy.
Speaker 3: I'm worried.
Speaker 5: You can grow up in any environment, the row, through
Speaker 5: the cracks in concrete.
Speaker 6: Stop it.
Speaker 2: They can survive and they can thrive.
Speaker 1: Guess what, Katy Perry's daughter never has to worry about
Speaker 1: living in concrete. Good lord, are you freaking serious, Amy King?
Speaker 1: I did not have Amy King pissing me off for
Speaker 1: the entire day on my Bengo card this morning.
Speaker 2: Not you personally look.
Speaker 3: At her face.
Speaker 2: No, don't be upset.
Speaker 3: Amy's got a good foot on you, so be careful.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Amy King knows where the trigger is.
Speaker 4: So the other actual news that's going on over the
Speaker 4: weekend has been this on again, off again discussion of
Speaker 4: tariffs and what in the world is going on.
Speaker 2: We should ask Katy Perry, Gail King what to do.
Speaker 4: The Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik says the decision on Friday
Speaker 4: to exempt electronic devices think iPhones, other smartphones, laptops and
Speaker 4: things like that from tariffs is only temporary and those
Speaker 4: products will still face separate levees. So we have tariffs,
Speaker 4: then we don't have tariffs, and then we have some
Speaker 4: tariffs but not all tariffs. And somewhere someone in the
Speaker 4: White House is describing this as a master plan that
Speaker 4: is playing out exactly the way they want it to.
Speaker 3: Why don't we know what that master plan is?
Speaker 4: And why does it feel like this is seat of
Speaker 4: the paints work every single day.
Speaker 2: I don't think there is a master port can't be.
Speaker 1: I mean, when you are negotiating a deal, there's going
Speaker 1: to be a lot of what's the word, I'm looking variables.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of variables. So you've got
Speaker 1: to kind of constantly pivot and adjust your stance.
Speaker 2: Right, That's what's happening.
Speaker 1: There is no massive road plan map of what's going on,
Speaker 1: no roadmap of what they're doing, because you've got to
Speaker 1: constantly pivot based on the responses you're getting. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's why you've seen them start and stop. That's you know,
Speaker 1: that's why you saw Trump act when he did. Was
Speaker 1: it some sort of master plan with manipulating the stock market,
Speaker 1: as much as that's a fun theory to think about, No,
Speaker 1: it was the fact that everyone sold off their bonds
Speaker 1: overnight and freaked out.
Speaker 4: He did, right, did President Trump? On truth? Social Nobody's
Speaker 4: getting off the hook. He said, there was no tariff
Speaker 4: exception announced on Friday. These products, specifically those tech products,
Speaker 4: are subject to the existing twenty percent fentanyl tariffs, and
Speaker 4: they are just moving to a different tariff bucket.
Speaker 3: The fake news knows this but refuses to report it.
Speaker 4: The thing is, he's got to understand that, even if
Speaker 4: he wants to claim that the news media is out
Speaker 4: to get him, they've got to go out of their
Speaker 4: way to make this as easy as possible to report
Speaker 4: so that it doesn't appear like it is just a
Speaker 4: seat of the pants kind of policy that's coming left
Speaker 4: and right. Noticed from the US Customs Import of Protection
Speaker 4: exempted the electronic products from that one hundred and forty
Speaker 4: five percent tariff on Chinese goods, and while China has
Speaker 4: said they're not going to back down, they've also said
Speaker 4: it does not look like they will increase tariffs on
Speaker 4: the United States higher than the one hundred and twenty
Speaker 4: five percent right now. Kevin Hassett is the National Economic
Speaker 4: Council Director. He said that one hundred and thirty countries
Speaker 4: now are negotiating teriffs with the United States after the
Speaker 4: ninety day pause that we saw last week, So there
Speaker 4: is some progress. It does not seem like it's a
Speaker 4: completely ironed out It's not a smooth process, but it
Speaker 4: is a process.
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, Gary and Shannon will continue full body MRIs. This
Speaker 1: is a big thing. Celebrities are making this a big thing,
Speaker 1: aren't they? Get the full bardy arm MRI if you
Speaker 1: can afford it. See what's percolating under your skin there. Well,
Speaker 1: there's some research that says it could save your life or.
Speaker 2: It could ruin it.
Speaker 4: There is a little bit of a find my friend's
Speaker 4: analogy to be made with this stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll do that.
Speaker 1: Well as somebody who tracks people the way you track everybody.
Speaker 1: Not me.
Speaker 2: I am tracked by no one.
Speaker 3: You don't know that.
Speaker 2: I'm not hard to figure out.
Speaker 3: That's true. Very little mystery there.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 4: Mostly a positive day on Wall Street led by tech stocks.
Speaker 4: Of course, we were talking earlier about the tariffs that
Speaker 4: had been imposed and then exempted some. The President exempted
Speaker 4: some technologies from from the So you've got phones and
Speaker 4: laptops and things like that made in China that will
Speaker 4: not be charged the same one hundred and forty five
Speaker 4: percent tariff as other items.
Speaker 1: Wall Street is responding major averages opened higher, shifted lower.
Speaker 1: I've rose back up in today's session after the exemptions announcement.
Speaker 1: They are not permanent according to the Commerce Secretary, but
Speaker 1: at last check that dow was up. Oh, I don't
Speaker 1: know two hundred points or so.
Speaker 3: Naib Bukele, I think is how you say his name is?
Speaker 4: The President of Al Salvador calls himself the world's coolest
Speaker 4: dictator is visiting with President Trump at the White House today.
Speaker 4: When we get into Swamp Watch, we'll talk a little
Speaker 4: bit more about what they said in this sort of
Speaker 4: informal Oval office meeting they had, including the discussion over
Speaker 4: the wrongly deported guy from Maryland who ended up in
Speaker 4: that prison in l Salvador, and whether or not President
Speaker 4: Bukeley is going to help us get him back despite
Speaker 4: or because of what the courts had ordered.
Speaker 1: Full body MRIs sans require just an hour to image
Speaker 1: you from head to toe. You're hearing a lot about
Speaker 1: these on social media from celebrities and influencers who hold
Speaker 1: them up as a pillar of preventative health to catch
Speaker 1: problems early on whatever they're hiding before they become hard.
Speaker 2: To treat diseases.
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade, for example, recently credited a whole body MRI
Speaker 1: with alerting him to an early stage kidney cancer.
Speaker 4: These things can be pretty expensive, I mean two three
Speaker 4: thousand dollars depending on where you get it.
Speaker 5: There is.
Speaker 4: Still some some downside to this for some people. I mean,
Speaker 4: on the one hand, you look at it as a
Speaker 4: sort of the future of science because it has these
Speaker 4: MRIs now have the ability to see things that you
Speaker 4: might not even feel yet. Think of, you know, the
Speaker 4: more dire version of something like a tumor that's growing
Speaker 4: on your kidney's weighing weight as a great example, But
Speaker 4: you hadn't seen any of the symptoms yet. Which is
Speaker 4: an even better time to be able to treat something
Speaker 4: like that, is before it starts wreaking havoc on your body.
Speaker 4: One of them aneurysms cancers. One of the doctors says,
Speaker 4: we can find stage one cancers before any symptoms appear.
Speaker 4: So and as the technology advances, it becomes faster, it
Speaker 4: becomes more accurate. It can detect diseases in even earlier stages.
Speaker 4: But what do you do then with that information and
Speaker 4: some of that is the conundrum that exists here the drawbacks.
Speaker 4: If you don't have any symptoms, you don't have any
Speaker 4: unique risks, like some sort of a disorder that makes
Speaker 4: you more vulnerable to disease or something like that, you
Speaker 4: run the risk I think of knowing too much about
Speaker 4: what's going on inside your path, going.
Speaker 1: Too much, giving yourself unnecessary worries and unnecessary procedures. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of emphasis on treating
Speaker 1: every single little thing for some people. Well, here's an
Speaker 1: anecdote that Time magazine pointed out Calvin's son. Calvin is
Speaker 1: a healthy thirty seven year old. A full body MRI
Speaker 1: scan showed assist in his sydney a kidney excuse me,
Speaker 1: sun saw aurologist who was optimistic it wasn't cancerous, offered
Speaker 1: him a surgery appointment several weeks away to inspect the
Speaker 1: kidney and operate if necessary.
Speaker 2: Calvin, by the way, is an er doctor.
Speaker 3: He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing well. He had no family
Speaker 1: history of cancer. This was a guy who exercised at
Speaker 1: a plant based diet, super healthy.
Speaker 2: The cyst he thought would mean nothing, but even so he.
Speaker 1: Persuaded his doctors to check it out to expedite surgery
Speaker 1: to avoid spending months doing and ruminating about worst case scenarios.
Speaker 1: His care team prepared to potentially remove a small part
Speaker 1: of his right kidney as a precautionary measure. Every expectation
Speaker 1: was that it would be benign. He wakes up five
Speaker 1: hours later and learns the kidney was completely gone. The
Speaker 1: surgeons removed it because they thought the surface looked malignant.
Speaker 1: He has no complications from surgery. He's thirty seven and healthy,
Speaker 1: but older people tend to be less predicted due to
Speaker 1: age related changes. Unnecessary surgeries could cause serious consequences. Every endoscopy, biopsy,
Speaker 1: surgical procedure.
Speaker 2: There are risks that come with that just on its
Speaker 2: face that could be life threatening.
Speaker 4: They also that discussion of okay, so about fifteen to
Speaker 4: thirty percent of these whole body MRIs do show something
Speaker 4: that would be of concern. The question is then what
Speaker 4: do you do with it? Even if it does show
Speaker 4: something growing on your kidney for example, that's not supposed
Speaker 4: to be there. Does that thing then, I mean, they
Speaker 4: have no idea how fast that's going to grow, whether
Speaker 4: it's malignant, if it is going to ever have an
Speaker 4: impact on your health. But taking a kidney out of
Speaker 4: your body automatically puts you in a position where your
Speaker 4: health is you know, not what it was.
Speaker 1: I was talking to a doctor my mom going through
Speaker 1: pancreatic cancer stuff, and the doctor said, well, there's spots
Speaker 1: on the pancreas, but you and I have spots on
Speaker 1: our pancreas. Okay, Well, you don't know if there's a
Speaker 1: problematic unless you biopsy them. Right, Well, going through a
Speaker 1: biopsy is not going through a walk in the freaking park.
Speaker 1: There's a lot that goes on with that, and that's
Speaker 1: exactly what we're talking about here.
Speaker 4: And if you know, so, use that doctor as an example.
Speaker 4: He's thirty seven, Is that what you said? So he's
Speaker 4: thirty seven years old. What if he he lives another
Speaker 4: fifteen years and has zero symptoms, there are zero problems
Speaker 4: with whatever's going on on his kidney, and he lives
Speaker 4: his life normally and healthy, and he's happy, and he
Speaker 4: does all the things that he wants to do. And
Speaker 4: then at the age of sixty two, he then realizes,
Speaker 4: I guess it would be fifty two. He realizes that
Speaker 4: something is wrong and he needs to go in for
Speaker 4: treatment to get it taken care of.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 4: The knowledge of having that, you know, when he was
Speaker 4: thirty seven doesn't necessarily change the mortality or his outlook
Speaker 4: on life at fifty two when something did come up
Speaker 4: that and I mean you're going through it right now.
Speaker 3: We went through it with my parents.
Speaker 4: This measuring of treatment versus life, like what quality of life?
Speaker 4: Where it was somebody going to have If my mom,
Speaker 4: for example, if she had to go through another round
Speaker 4: of chemotherapy, it would have just been awful. I mean,
Speaker 4: that's an awful thing to do to the body if
Speaker 4: you're not strong enough to take it. And that kind
Speaker 4: of mentality of figuring out where, how you want to know,
Speaker 4: how much you want to know about what's going on,
Speaker 4: that's the whole Find my friends.
Speaker 3: What's the word analogy that I was going for.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you follow everybody, and I mean kids like to
Speaker 4: anybody between the age of fifteen and twenty eight right
Speaker 4: now follows dozens of people probably with their phones. They
Speaker 4: follow friends, they follow ex boyfriends, whatever.
Speaker 2: Got what an awful world?
Speaker 4: But then you know when they're somewhere they're not supposed
Speaker 4: to be, but let them Yes, yes, Mel Robbins.
Speaker 3: I agree, but that's harder.
Speaker 2: My friends Bone and some other girl let him.
Speaker 3: But that's harder to do. That's harder to do than
Speaker 3: it sounds.
Speaker 4: It's harder sometimes to let that information go when you've
Speaker 4: got the information.
Speaker 3: And that's why they talk about these full body MRI.
Speaker 2: Scans And you can put me down tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Mental health content sequences tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Or this afternoon. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: We're gonna need a syringe.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have lunch first because because that sounds good.
Speaker 4: There were more naked people at Disneyland this weekend than
Speaker 4: there were a Coachella did you Did you know that?
Speaker 2: Uh no, but I didn't know. Coachella was still a thing.
Speaker 3: It was very hot over the weekend.
Speaker 2: It wasn't Bertie and which means it was not hot.
